Lest we forget…..

Oh dear. Mum’s ears are suffering tonight as I’ve barked at fireworks non stop for almost 4hrs. She’s surprised I haven’t lost my voice by now 🙉

Rumour has it that Mum has ordered me 2 new Lickimats as I chewed most of the little spikes off one of the old ones. The new ones have squares or hexagons which seem more resistant to damage. I’ll report back 😋

Mum’s on the warpath. Seems she gets a pension rise in a few weeks time…..that’s good isn’t it 🤔. Well, it’s just 25p a week - I can’t even suggest she gives it to me for treats. It would take me months to save enough for just one packet! She says it’s a 🤬 insult.

@mawsongsp.bsky.social *Helicopter tail wags*. Welcome to the new neighbourhood Mawson. We’re all blundering around cluelessly - come & join in 😁

My humiliation is complete. My Furdresser has just sent Mum this picture. Thanks Auntie Lisa 🤨. She said I’m just a sweet little white witch 🤔

A couple more pictures without the interesting focal point. 😜

Enjoying the sunshine at Lee Valley Park this afternoon. I agreed to a pawtrait session to show off my new furcut 😊

Friends, please give a warm welcome to another refugee from the BlueBird Republic. She’s completely bonkers so should fit in perfectly 🤪

@floraspaniel.bsky.social *Runs round in ever decreasing squircles* FLORA! Welcome to the happy place - we’re all totally clueless but no-one minds.

YAY! Let me introduce you to my dear friend Ollie the Great Wood Otter. A joyful reunion as I haven’t seen him for about a month! 😊

@sydthesmiler.bsky.social Hello 👋 Are you a refugee from the BlueBird Republic? This is like moving into a brand new estate - we’re all learning the ropes together. I’m told the pub is 3 clouds past Pluto - see you there 🍻

Er Mum! It might be more pertinent to keep walking to avoid that angry looking cloud before it drops its contents on us, rather than faffing about taking photos of it 🙄

For some reason I always get the strangest feeling I’m being watched in this White Alder woodland 🌳👀😳

Hey friends - please give a warm welcome to carriesg.bsky.social who’s just arrived from the BlueBird Republic and is feeling a bit lost 🤗

@carriesg.bsky.social YAY! You made it 😁. Welcome to the happy place where we’re all learning the ropes together. It’s like moving into a brand new estate. The virtual pub is 3 clouds past Pluto and who the heck cares what day the bins go out. 🤪🥳💐

YIPEE! We’ve now got hashtags. DMs next please @bsky.app

Some of you will know I’ve been in training to be the next Andrex puppy. Well, it’s on hold. Every time I try to get hold of the paper, this scary THING hurls itself at me with much clanging & clattering. How’s a girl supposed to practise under these conditions 😳

@lolawigglebutt.bsky.social Welcome to the happy place Lola 🤗😘

We have to wait in for something this afternoon so we turned our day upside down & went to Lee Valley Park this morning. Mum is keen on iPhone photography so I’m afraid I have to post boring photos from time to time (no Jem) 😘

Hey fellow refugees from the Bluecheck Republic: let’s be proactive in bringing the #houndsoftwitter to our new home. When you get your invite codes, reach out to someone there whom you’d like to see join #skyhounds here.

No machinery working at Lodge Farm yesterday so no birds around for Mum to peer at. I got paid for an Autumn photoshoot though 🍪🍖😋

@sprocketcool.bsky.social You’re in good company here. I did just that last week ‘ it WAS turned on 💀 Mum says I was lucky it was only a low voltage one & the plug possibly pulled out first.

We’ve arrived and ready to find our friends 🐶🐾😀

@ruthjeffery.bsky.social *Excited ears*. Welcome to the happy place Auntie Ruth! We’re going to have a housewarming pawty when there are enough of the old gang over here 🥳

They were having a busy day at Lodge Farm. Plenty of Kites after easy pickings too (Mum was hoping the one in the first picture would come closer but sadly, you’ll need a magnifying glass) 😃

Just to round off #WorldSmileDay…..😁

It’s #WorldSmileDay so I’m told, so here’s my contribution 😃

I’m not sure Mum realises that I’ve not a clue what she’s wittering on about, so I just laugh politely in the hope that it WAS something funny 😜. Photos from Hooks Marsh @LeeValleyPark

Did someone mention a Lickimat? 😋🤤😃

@carrotfiles.bsky.social Welcome to the new neighbourhood - it’s a bit like “Escape to the Country”. A whole new experience but the natives are definitely friendly & we’re making it up as we go along 😁

@millieotlfp.bsky.social Welcome to Our new world Millie. I think we’re going to like it here 👋👋😘

@nelsonpickles.bsky.socia*Waves tail frantically*. Hello you two - welcome to the happy place. We shall have a pawty when there are enough of the old gang from TwiX over here 🥳🎊🍺

We made it to the Weir today. No posing as it’s my day off (as decided by me). I had to give Mum a tow for the last bit back to the car but at least we won’t be camping out @LeeValleyPark tonight 😅

@mollieapso.bsky.social *Jumps up & down & does helicopter tail*. MOLLLIE! You’re here! We’re planning a pawty when more of the old gang have arrived 🥳

BlueSky definitely feels like twitter back in the day. Scrolling through and seeing a bunch of stupid, but funny, or cute content. No promoted tweets or suggestions or just endless reshares of spammy clickbait. It’s nice. -Floof

@ownedbyhoundies.bsky.social Hello you two. Welcome to the happy place. Please make sure you encourage your friends to join as soon as they can get a code. There aren’t enough of us for a proper welcome pawty at the moment 🍺🍖🎉

@lurcheratlarge.bsky.social Hi Nancy! Welcome to the new neighbourhood 👋👋💐

@zaragreyhound.bsky.social Welcome to that other place - it’s a refreshing change after TwiX. Not a megalomaniac in sight. We’re all newbies together 😘

We ventured slightly further afield today - Norton Mandeville. It looked a lot like autumn but it was quite warm for late September.

Mum was so busy photographing the lovely reflections in the Canal & Lake that I hardly got a look in. She said “It’s behind you Jem” but I’m not sure what - can anyone tell me please 🤔

I met my friend Ollie the Great Wood Otter today for the first time in ages. I gave him a kiss & a hug before whispering sweet nothings in his slightly tattered ear 🥰

It’s looking very much like Autumn has arrived at Lee Valley Park

It was a lovely morning to admire the view from the roof of our little world #Harlow

Hello there Bluesky! Nice to finally be here. Looking to reconnect with anyone I know across the various platforms. 👋🏻

@finngolden.bsky.social Sorry - just noticed I hadn’t followed you. I have now 🤭

We keep having the problem of getting locked out with it telling us that it is invalid user details. Always seem to get back in eventually. Is anyone else having this problem? We need a virtual key safe 😃

The current v1 Bluesky system is designed to scale to 1M users. And today we're going to hit 1M users! We will, of course, keep pushing things and *try* to smoothly transition to the v2 Bluesky system later this year. It's designed for >10M users. We just have to finish building the v2 system!

For the benefit of a very small audience on here so far, pictures of storm clouds over 70 Acres Lake today. Just avoided the rain - you can just see it starting to blow up in that last shot

@bossingbertie.bsky.social Hi Mavis. Welcome to our little clan *Waves frantically* 👋👋😘
